It was like in his first term and he noticed that the justice system can be draconian to people accused of crimes, as Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and others were indicted. Someone described his interventions as "Artisan bespoke criminal justice reform, one friend of Trump's at a time."

I can't think of another team that ha had such a huge chasm between starting pitching quality and relief pitching quality.

If 'Lax-allowing-unsafe' refers to the mitigation to not break SSO, then yes it appears to still be in place:

All true. We use the establishment of the federal government as the most important event, but also the Statute of Westminster in 1931 meant that we could finally have an independent foreign policy, which is a key feature of statehood.

I see.
The thing we call Canada didn't exist until 1876.
You're saying there were no monarch visits to Canada, or colonial territories that would eventually be incorporated into Canada, until 1939, which is true. But 1786 has no relevance as a starting point.

The reality is that we don't *dislike* him enough to bother with changing our whole constitutional system.
We have... more pressing things to worry about.

I feel it important to nitpick here: You mean 1876, not 1786.

It's like a vehicular equivalent of NIMBYism. "I want safer roads as long as it doesn't affect me or the way I drive."

Aside from the self-contradictory ruling on the review, that ball wasn't out of the park if the fan hadn't snagged it. Lukes still had a shot at catching it, and if he missed then it would have been off the fence.

The US did not request that Article 5 be invoked in 2001. The North Atlantic Council did so anyway.
I'm not saying the conditions for it to be invoked have been met. Just pointing out it doesn't depend on Poland.

Thinking of submitting a DEFCON talk complaining that passkeys don't *really* keep me safe because I still have to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle.

Isn't this the law everywhere? The ability to consent to someone beating the crap out of you is why professional hockey players are almost never charged with assault.

The Jays tried out that "winning" thing for a while. Apparently it wasn't for them.
Their hitting is still good, but the shortage of quality pitchers is always going to catch up with them.

Yes the game frequency shapes a lot. It's that high because for all players except the pitcher a game is just not all that physically demanding. So pitchers are conserved as a limited resource and everyone else plays every day.

Same idea as word lookups in the game manual. At a certain point in Monkey Island it would show you a picture of a pirate and give a word like "Tortuga". You'd have to turn the wheel to make that pirate face, and enter the number in the Tortuga window.

If the vertical side was 2i instead of i, making the hypotenuse length -3, how does that change your isomorphism?

I have 139 purple first, out of 329 total.
An interesting goal is to try to solve with a "reverse rainbow" (purple blue green yellow). It forces you to work out all the categories before trying any.
It's usually easy to tell which one is purple. Predicting which one is yellow vs green needs luck.
